Did I miss something in school? Plenty of things heavier than helium aren’t metal. Boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon…
- Comment on Seriously, it was all the rage back when I joined my first instance. 1 day ago:
Don’t forget Van week!
- Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats? 6 days ago:
Bat and bird poop can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis.
- Comment on Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm? 6 days ago:
OP is asking about seeing light, not being directly hit by it. A psychological effect.
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 1 week ago:

- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 1 week ago:
This is true but I don’t think it’s going to have the desired effect you want in the long run. How’s the war on drugs working out?
Firearms restrictions will be enforced unequally; it will be used as a pretense to further persecute minorities. Those with money will simply hire private security contractors who can jump through the legal hoops to get whatever they want. The majority of shootings in the US are related to drugs and other illegal activities that have logistics channels to get guns just as easily as drugs or exploited people. Guns are durable and the demand exists. They’re not going anywhere.
The gun problem in the US is not the cause of our woes, it is the symptom. “Make X illegal” is the laziest form of government and it’s just granting them more power which will be abused eventually.
- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 1 week ago:
Ban smartphones makes about as much sense as ban drugs or ban guns. It does nothing to address root causes and will do little to change anything for the better. Societal issues take more than “make X illegal”.
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 2 weeks ago:
Well they’re not separated, so who’s really making the pedantic argument here?
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 3 weeks ago:
Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones
This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Charcoal grill, successfully assembled and cooked on while intoxicated with multiple substances.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt
Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 3 weeks ago:
I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.
I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 3 weeks ago:
Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.
I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 3 weeks ago:
If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.
A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)
- Comment on the real struggle is choosing which to replace 4 weeks ago:
I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.
If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?
I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 4 weeks ago:
This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 4 weeks ago:
What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
Closing the flapper stops the water in the tank from going into the bowl.
This is completely unnecessary IMO. You stop the water in the tank from going into the bowl by not continuing to flush a clearly clogged toilet. There’s no issue with the flapper in this scenario and it will automatically seal in a few seconds from water pressure.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
You stop that by shutting the water off, not by manually closing the flapper. It’s a bizarre step and absolutely not necessary to clear a clog.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
Right, I am aware of all this.
Why would step one be to manually close the flapper? The water level will do this automatically in a couple seconds, unless there’s a hidden step 0, shut off the water supply. This also makes adjusting the flapper pointless.
I just don’t get it. There’s no point.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
I get that. That’s a totally different scenario than “clogged toilet”.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
Those are the only toilets I’m familiar with, at least with regards to maintenance and troubleshooting.
I’ve cleared a lot of clogged shitters, not once have I had to ensure the flapper is down in the reservoir. That’s “why won’t it stop running” not “why won’t it flush”.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 4 weeks ago:
Why wouldn’t it close normally like it always does? There’s no issue with the reservoir here.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 5 weeks ago:
Settings > playback > radio > include external media
“Consider tracks from shared servers and TiDAL”
Also if you just mean multiple libraries like switching between them, click at the top. I’ve got 4 of my own and 1 from a friend here.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 5 weeks ago:
Plexamp does a pretty good job with the radio features, granted you will have to torrent stuff you’re not necessarily familiar with first. If you have a few friends who also share their music libraries with you it can really help by including their tracks in your radios.
- Comment on This one we can all agree on 5 weeks ago:
Poop has been used historically as a building material (eg wattle and daub) and is fine for load bearing applications provided you do the math.

AI can’t make a good hook or a catchy tune
Good luck keeping this out of your head:
